Well I had to laugh I`m afraid. Apparently the poor lad has recieved death threats for "showing no respect" and going on stage showing his bald head, whilst singing Elvis songs.
Well, he`s made international news now, and all the ones whinging under their silly insulting wigs must be very sick indeed!
There is obviously some PR behind this, but I applaud it, so many people forget Elvis and his sense of humour.
I don`t know how many of you remember an act called "The King", which covered songs like Nirvana etc in a Presley style. I thought it was a marvellous idea but our completely unclever management at the time pulled us out of the project.
Do I believe Elvis would have covered "Teen Spirit" had he been alive?
Simply, yes.

Exactly MM.
The mytholodgy surrounding his aura is quite incredible.
Have I mentioned a true story of my door bell ringing,and a guy in full Elvis costume, yes , with guitar, who sang me "Blue Suede Shoes" on my doorstep before saying hello? I fell into a big pool of embarrasment for him. His agent called me an hour later and asked me what I thought. I ducked and dived my reply for as long as I could.
Worse was to come a while later when a pair of dance instructors, appeared as I was making tea for the kids and performed a routine in my KITCHEN(!), whilst I was serving pasta.
Two very good reasons to stop being an agent I felt, ooh!.. and another Elvi popped round once, and continuingly played with the webbing holding his dodgy barnet on, as I said my farewells, it started to rain, and he held his head under my cars opened boot to avoid shrinkage.
Bald Elvis rocks!

<<< The mytholodgy surrounding his aura is quite incredible.>>>

Probably due, at least in part, to the fact that his manager / label stock-piled hundreds of photos just before he went into the army, and were still using some of these a decade later - thus maintaining his "eternal youth" image.

What a shock it must have been when they actually saw him in Vegas !!!!!!!!

The biggest shock I saw recently was his last recorded performance, which I think was in Vegas. He was led to a piano to play "Lonesome Tonight", it made me very upset to see the decay of his personality played out in public.
A tremendous upside to it all I can tell you about, is my friend called me from a soundcheck on the "Elvis"tour( the one with the big screen and no E),
and we assumed he was in a very noisy place , which of course he was.( He had the trumpet gig)
Ronnie Tutt, was soundchecking "CC Rider", a great moment in my touring times, to hear this live on a mobile phone.
Gawd I`m getting old, must write a book!....
